Diamond Stealth Iii Driver

Marginally, the RIVA TNT is better in 2D and 3D as well as the bus transfer rates. As mentioned earlier, I tried to overclock the card but PowerStrip refused to let me try speeds above 143.2MHz, although I am quite sure that the Mira SDRAMs could handle around None of the above shall be reproduced, copied and/or modified without the permission of the WebMaster.

For the uninitiated, Mira is a subsidiary of Mitsubishi, so it's not some unknown brand. Stealth 3D 2000 Series drivervxnt4203.exe [more] Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc. According to the benchmarks, the OpenGL performance of the S540 could be nearly twice as fast as the Canopus Spectra 5400PE (based on the nVidia RIVA TNT2-Ultra chipset). Also, the card was nicely detected and within several reboots I had the S540 running benchmarks, proving its ease of setting up!

This is a problem which most users will face, how do you exactly cool it? The official S3 Savage4 drivers do indeed work for both Windows 98 SE and Windows 3.11. Because you'd never know if any IC chips or the PCB will get damaged during shipping. This unit is an OEM pull and does not include any software, drivers or manuals!!

Right clicking on any part of the desktop brings up Diamond's own menu, an eyesore really, considering the pause in between the menu loading, compared to the generic Windows 98!

Since AGP/CLK is set to 1/1 means that the card is running at 150MHz and 166MHz (AGP2X) respectively at clockspeeds of 375MHz and 416MHz.

Please consult the readme file included for additional driver information.

Heck, even the Rage or TNT2 can beat that card...

I'm also interested in knowing whether or not the card will work with an overclocked AGP bus.

Diamond needs to spend more time re-considering that feature! this content The time now is 06:22 PM. The default Diamond applications started up together with the system and the most annoying thing about it is whenever you left click on a blank portion of the desktop, the Windows The box is plastered with information and boasts the advantages of owning a S540 over the 3dfx Voodoo3.

Measured in Reality Marks Benchmark Comments Wintune 98 / 3D Winbench 99 The results reflect very badly on the S3 Savage4 Pro chipset, however the plus factor is the OpenGL tested I guess this feature was meant for convenience, but since we all are so used to clicking the Start button, won't it become redundant? http://forumfamiljar.com/diamond-stealth/diamond-stealth-64-pci-drivers.php Because I stongly believe that benchmarks are useless numbers without comparison to others, I will be comparing the S540 to my Asus TNT (not overclocked) as well as the Canopus Spectra5400PE

Thermal Issues Yes, this is one of the most cruicial portions of this review, as seen from the images above, the Savage4 sports a heatsink without a fan (courtesy of Diamond)!

The card also appears to perform just fine with the AGP bus overclocked. I haven't purchased a Diamond Stealth III S540 yet, but I would prefer to use AGP if at all possible because I have no more free PCI slots. I am interested in using it in a retro gaming PC, but am primarily concerned about getting it to function properly in Windows 3.11. http://forumfamiljar.com/diamond-stealth/diamond-stealth-64-pci-driver.php Well, I did not try plucking the heatsink off the Savage4 chip, but I guess that the heatsink is bonded by the normal paste like grey thermal compound, not like others

The memory chips being used is the Mira 7ns type. I wonder if this is Diamond's intepretation of saving paper??? I've read that this causes problems for some AGP graphics cards. Definitely not a buy for 3D intensive gamers!

In any case the default refresh rate for the S540 is 85.0Hz. There is one setback...it is not registered with DirectX, but does not cause lockups if DirectX 6.x/7.x is installed.
